“There can be no denying what we see in the media every day. From the ongoing suffering of Australian animals in live export, the threats to our land and native species in the form of coal mines, to race horses being destroyed on a regular basis.”

“In fact, even at this week’s Melbourne Cup, a race horse had to be tragically euthanised after a heavy fall while the racing continued. People do care about these important issues and that’s why I will speak up, for them, and all animals, along with protecting our valuable country for our future generations.

“I will support and advocate for a range of issues across animals, environment, our community and people, including human health on a platform of, equality, non-violence, kindness, and rationality.”
